Hey GK...are you listening?

I have a GK MB200 that I love. I spent years with an 800RB that I loved, but it was just too heavy for me to haul around. Now that small Class D amps are sounding great, I got my MB200 and have been pretty impressed with it. That said...
I got the GK, because I have always liked the tone/feel of GK amps. I was very tempted to get a SWR Headlite because it has the Amplite extension amp, and I figure, if I need more power at some point (say to play outdoor venues with an extra cab or 2) it would be nice to have a lightweight power amp. In the end though I just couldn't get past the price of the SWR gear for the sound that it had.
So my plea is this:
GK, make us a small class D power amp, the size of an MB200, that uses the power section of the MB500 and can be run off of the line out on the back of the MB200. I want it to include 2 speakon jacks, volume control and cost around $300. Make it happen!
Thank you for listening.

But then it's the same price as the MB500

I thought the MB500s were $499?

They are making powered bass cabs with those guts in them.

I remember reading on here a while ago that those cabs were only going to be used with the current MB Combos, and that older combos would need a mod that GK would do so that they had enough signal at the line out to use the powered cabs. I even remember Bob stating something to the effect that the cabs would not be compatible with the MB200/500/800's
Edit: Here is the thread: GK new MBP Powered Enclosures? (More info please!)
